"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali

It has been beset with legal challenges, accusations of land grabbing and gross impropriety by members of the government. In the mean time, other cities have picked up the baton, while Bangalore's advantage slips away.
